Technical director and assistant head coach shown the door following arrival
of Magath as manager

Alan Curbishley and Ray Wilkins both left Fulham on Monday night following another day of upheaval and confusion over the club’s coaching set-up.

Wilkins was told not to report to their Motspur Park training base on Monday and, while Curbishley met new manager Felix Magath on Sunday, it is understood that both Wilkins and Curbishley have been sacked.

Curbishley and Wilkins were less than two months into their respective jobs as technical director and assistant head coach but Magath is now forming a new backroom team, which will will include Werner Leuthard, the fitness expert.

Wilkins told Telegraph Sport that he would be making no comment before an official club statement had been released.

Rene Meulensteen is still facing deep uncertainty over his potential severance package, with the club continuing to insist that he remains under contract as head coach. Meulensteen joined Fulham with the title “head coach” under Martin Jol on Nov 13 and, although he was subsequently asked to “run first-team duties” when Jol was sacked on Dec 1, his title never changed.
